We shall be changed! Changed from the mortal to immortality in the twinkling of an eye! These words have ranged out for decades as people got stuck in the Pentecostal flow of the senses, misusing the gifts looking to a far-away heaven and to be whisked away to meet Jesus in clouds of the sky.
Every attempt to reveal 'a more excellent way' has been perverted by those with an unregenerate beastly mindset. From 1757 to 2057, many of those uttering prophetic predictions have applied literal meaning and implications to them usually based on a false premise. What can be more erroneous than teaching people that they are going to be changed instantaneously while being beamed up into the atmosphere to go to another world?
One of the most popular Scriptures used to promote a so-called rapture are taken from the books of Matthew and Luke. “I tell you that night there will be two men in one bed one will be taken and the other will be left. Two women grinding at the same place; one will be taken and the other will be left. Two men in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left. The disciples said to him where? And He said, “Where the body is, there also will be gathered the vultures.” In other words, the one that will be taken will experience death! Vultures feed on dead things. Therefore, we can look at this verse as a two-fold interpretation. First, the spiritual implications of accepting those teachings that causes one to die spiritually. Therefore, the human vultures, the false christ's, false apostles, false prophets, false preachers and false teachers will pray on them plucking away at them. They may think that they are alive but are dead to receiving a higher Truth. Therefore, they receive those things that are antichrist which leads to death. The second interpretation is a literal one—a physical death. “Blessed are they who have part in the 'first death' (or resurrection) the 'second death' will have no power over them”.
Scripture also plainly states that John saw a new heaven and a new earth, the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven. It is new because it has been purified along with its inhabitants. Therefore, the inhabitants of heaven have been redeemed, purified and has been sanctified dwelling in the heavenly place. Thus, no one is going to be beamed up into the clouds in the sky! It seems to me that one would not want to be 'taken', as in the previous case, or be 'caught up'.
Christ said in Matthew that “they shall see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with great power”. Still, He says nothing about people being 'caught up' or 'taken' up into the sky as in an atmospheric realm. Again, Scripture says, “the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky” and “Just as lightening comes from the east, and flashes, even to the west, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be." He even makes his words a bit more plan. "Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather”. He says that He will send forth His angels with a great Trumpet and they will gather together the Elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky or earth to the other. These prophetic idioms and allegorical analogies are merely describing metaphorically how the Predestined Elect will come together with one mind touching 'shoulder to shoulder' being united in Truth in Christ consciousness! Without a doubt, these metaphorical euphemisms also describe not only the judgments that will come upon the unholy ones, as a result of their misuse of Divine Laws but it describes the 'end-time' or the 'time of the end' of one’s life!
These Scriptures merely depict how quickly death and judgment or life will come to every soul that dwells upon this earth! In the twinkling of an eye death will come and not a one of us knows, unless YHVH have seen fit for some reason to reveal it to you, when or what day or what hour. Be sure that if the head of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming he would not have allowed his house to be broken into! “Remember therefore what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. If therefore you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you...He that has an ear hear what the Spirit is saying!
Whether you like it or not, whether you accept it or not; it is through the Apostles and Prophets who have been chosen to reveal the Way and build up the Body! You who call yourselves apostles and prophets need to wake up to Truth. If you are one who want the prestige and are teaching traditions, falsehoods, do not have the Testimony of a Christ or keep the Commandments, you are those who are asleep in their own self pride and egos. The time will come for you as a thief. I warn those of you who hold the Offices of Apostle & Prophet you had better make certain that you are what you say that you are! You had better make certain that you walk in the Higher Way! Ignorance of the Law is no excuse. Ignorance to Truth is no excuse. The same for those of you who holds Positions of Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher! You best come in line with Order, Authority and Delegated Authority! Those of you who are sitting under someone who walks and teaches contrary to the above, you are culpable for your own soul salvation! So stop whining about the short-comings of leaders and get yourself in line with Order and Truth!
This is why Christ said that he would send forth His angels to gather the Elect. This usage of the words 'his Elect' is used to distinguish those 'Overcomers' from those who will be 'taken' or 'caught-up'! The Elect are those chose before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame, in Love showing forth the Praises and Glory of a Divine Creator to all people. Christ tells the Elect, for this reason be on alert and ready for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think. He then asked a question, “Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is he who the master finds doing”. This puts a different twist on all of those infamous words used to persuade one into believing in a so-called rapture.
It is the Elect, those chosen from the foundation of the world of who has put in charge of the Royal Household, in various degrees, in their Order. This was done in order to nurture, teach, release revelatory 'Meat' to people that they may grow coming into the knowledge of Christhood and Kingdom Principles! This was so they may embrace them and the Truths surrounding them! This was done in order to bring the people into maturity before the 'end' of their 'time' that they may live an abundant life in heavenly bliss from faith to faith and glory to glory while coming into Christhood, living in Divine Union with now, in preparation of the ultimate goal of a 'Glorified Body'.
This pre-ordination of the Elect was also instituted that ALL may come into their predestined purpose, specifically those preordained into the Five-Fold Ministry that they would not only come into the realization of their purpose and mission but that they would bring others into their purpose and mission in life--the Body of Christ's!
Many false Christ-man have brought shame upon the Five-Fold Ministry. Christ when talking to the Apostles, then Disciples, was asked why are you talking to the people in parables. He answered them, “To you it has been granted to know...but to them (the multitudes) it has not been granted.” What are these Elect to know? They are to know the Mysteries of the Kingdom! What has been granted? We have been 'Delegated Authority' and put in charge of the Fathers most prize possessions—His children!
“But if that evil slave”, false apostles, false prophets, false evangelist, false preachers, false teachers “say within their heart, My master is not coming for a long time, and began to beat his fellow slaves and eat and drink, the master of that slave will come when he does not expect and assign him a place with the hypocrites; weeping shall be there and gnashing of teeth”. YHVH says woe to those who cause my people to error. This is why there is a distinction, re-institution and the inauguration of the Apostolic Order of the Five-Fold Ministry--when the 'Veil was rent in twin'! However, those soothsayers and wolves in sheep's clothing, those hirelings, because of selfishness and their beastly nature began to fabricate false doctrines and the traditions of men in a false religious System that perpetuates revolt and lawlessness which keeps the people in the clutches of death.
Those who promote catastrophic end-time events culminating with a so-called rapture where the Saints will go to another planet in an atmospheric realm; while 'sinners' stay behind on earth to learn from each other for 1,000 years is one of the greatest fairy tales ever conjured up! We need to get real! Stop living in 'Never Neverland'! You will never be able to accept Truth, the Promise or your Inheritance until you do!
End-time gloom and doom propagandist most often have not touched Spirit or received revelation from Spirit, although they may believe that they have. Perhaps they receive a part of the revelation or vision disseminating it without waiting for a full revelation. They use instead their own intellect and reasoning from an environmentally influenced traditionalism of orthodoxy forming their own conclusions of what the creator has attempted to relay to us. They often times pass these events off as sound doctrine that 'clouds' the Truth literally swaying people away from Truth. Since so many believe it, most people think that it must be true. Those doubtful intrusions and antichrist beliefs keep people fighting among themselves with some ism or another.
They think that they have just as much authority as conferred upon His Elect. They then come against Authority, Law and Order. Thinking themselves to be more than they actually are, they degrade the Five-Fold Ministry and those 'Delegated' as true oracle and vicar. They live a life of disobedience, pride and rebellion. Their eyes become closed and their hearing dull. Eventually, their heart becomes hardened and they die.
These isms keeps the peoples attentions on those things that does not have nothing to do with nothing as they walk out of Order thinking they do good works for the Kingdom. Certainly, their good works have nothing to do with true salvation or redemption, particularly when they themselves have not experienced True redemption! These are the same ones who, if they have not lost sight of their redemption with good works they are looking for a 'sinner' to save as if they gave their life and their words have the power to save someone when they are already saved! News Flash!!! The World has already been 'saved'! The Bible was written to and for the Church! It was written for an Instructional Aide for those living in rebellion and disobedience and as a Basic Guideline for those who 'Tutor'!
That little prefix, 'RE' in front of a word should be a clue for most. Re: before! Something that was previously already something. Re is to do again, return to the previous state! Repetition of a previous action. Re comes from the Latin for again, back. 'Dem' is people or a person. The ancient Hebrew pictograph for the letter 'pe' or 'pey' and 'Dal' or 'Dalet' comprise the roots for the English word redeemed. Pey is a picture of an open mouth and Dalet is a picture of a door. When combined means “Open Door”. Therefore, when one is redeemed, they gird on their clothes for leaving (their old nature, mind, will and emotions behind) and are brought back to an original state—The Image and Likeness of a Divine Creator! They then become Heavenly Citizens!
"Heaven is an open door in the mind for the coming of Christ.” John says, “After these things I looked and behold a door standing open in heaven”. He says again, “And I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse and He who sat upon it is called faithful...The Word of YHVH...And the armies which are in Heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses”!
Therefore, once one accepts that they have been saved or come into the knowledge that their 'sins' or errors are covered, they become a candidate for redemption. In Romans 8, there is never a word about election until you get half way through the chapter. This is because, until one knows that they are a heavenly citizen and free from the self condemnations and the condemnation of others, they too can become a Christ. Until then, they are neither in the right position or condition to receive Truth or the Mysteries. Once they come to the realization of what they have been 'saved' from or into, their redemption then becomes a process.
Therefore, the meaning of redemption is to bring the people back again to their original state of Elohim-- gods! The original 'Adam' was distinguished from the animals. Therefore, to be redeemed is to be clothed in righteousness; to being freed from a beastly animalistic mindset and antichrist mannerisms; to come out of a selfish state into a selfless state; and, to come into the knowledge of who you are as a Christ--who you was created to be! It is once one has been drawn by Spirit into their Christ mind that transformation actually occurs. With each advancement into another spiritual realm, each transformation, each growth spurt toward Teleios, every round that goes higher takes place in the Spirit in the twinkling of an eye. For we shall be like Him and we shall see TRUTH as it really is.
Apostle Rubie James
